Who can wear contact lenses?

Just about anyone. Contact lenses are suitable for all ages, including children and are a great alternative to glasses. They’re perfect to wear when playing sports, during outdoor activities, travelling, on holiday and at social events. Not to mention if you just love to go glasses-free.

Are contact lenses right for me?

If you thought contact lenses weren’t right for you or your prescription, think again. Thanks to huge technological advancements, contact lenses can correct the majority of eye sight problems and are now available for bifocal, varifocal and astigmatic prescriptions. That means more often than not, we’ll be able to suggest the perfect lenses for you.

Which type will work best for me?

Well, that depends on the shape of your eye, prescription and lifestyle. You may find monthly, two-weekly or daily lenses - that can be worn full time or occasionally - work best for you. Or perhaps you’d like the convenience of Extended Wear Lenses that can be worn continuously. You may be an existing wearer of Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses (RGP), which we can also supply and fit, or require Specialist Lenses which are designed for specific eye conditions.

But there’s no need to be overwhelmed by the choice. Our friendly optometrists will not only measure your eye for the most comfortable fit; they’ll also take your prescription and lifestyle into consideration when suggesting the right contact lenses for you.

There’s only one way to find out if you and contact lenses are the perfect fit. Make an appointment with our optometrist to discuss your options.
